To begin a cultural look, see YouTube for this dance from Romania at www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxd41_5UsYg&feature=related. . Also, look up neo-gypsy hybrid music, Gogol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box 9/29/07 at ://thephoenix.com/article_ektid48030.aspx.
1. Emil Cina, from site ://poetry.about.com/library/weekly/museletters/blCZmuse106.htm; scroll down to Romani literature. I could not follow the link given to Emil Cina. Concern there is also for non-Gypsy writers writing about Roma is this: the likely stereotyping, romanticizing and mythologizing that went on with the Native Americans - an appropriation. This is an oral tradition, so the publishing is coming from non-Roma
2. Dezider Banga, from site //poetry.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5121/poet.htm
3. Hans'che Weiss, Sinte group musician, from site ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinti (made a record in Germany about the Holocaust in 1970 in Romani dialect, his people did not want outsiders to know the language, anger, read at the site). The link to Hans'che Weiss does not go anywhere.
4. Individuals and sources at ://poetry.about.com/library/weekly/museletters/blCZmuse106.htm. Scroll down to the Romani Literature section.
